Incredible

The food was insanely delicious, they cook with joy as you can hear them singing in the kitchen. The sizes are big so you are satisfied. The limonada de coco was amazing, its hard to find vegan ones in colombia so when theres 1 buy it! Definitely loved this place, energy and food was great!

Pros: Delicious , Big sizes, Happy workers

Not bad

Food was okay. Very large portions. I’m not sure if it’s a Colombian thing but wasn’t very flavorful but I’ve noticed that’s been the case in a lot of different places I’ve tried. Other than the falafel, every other item could be split between 2 people.

Pros: Cool atmosphere , Good juices

Delicious food and cute interior

The empanada was very delicious, as well as the smoothie with chocolate I had. The portions are veeery big.

Also there is a cute little space to paint on the walls. Lovely place :)

Big portion, fresh food

A quirky little restaurant with a menu of a few options. Great juices. And just HUGE PORTIONS. Amazing, everything was self made and organic. The empanada was filled with fresh vegetables and was not oily. Hippie-like atmosphere of the interior and great place to get a big vegan meal in Guatapé.

Big portions!

Really enjoyed the vibe here. Quite hippy in a good way! We originally sat outside which was nice but hot so the owner encouraged us to go upstairs which we hasn’t noticed before. The views of the street are lovely. Great to people watch while waiting for food. Food portions were enormous! I had a salad bowl with veggies and falafel plus a smoothie.

Afterwards I saw someone else with fries which turned out to be homemade so I was a little jealous I hadn’t chosen burger and fries. But I was trying to be healthy that day after enjoying all the Medellin vegan offerings so..

I did paint my name on the wall so if you see Harryvx graffiti take a pic for me 😂

Pros: Fully vegan with great hippy vibe, Healthy filling food, Good value large portions

Delicious food, big portion, great vibe

The chef gives a real authentic vibe, dancing and singing in the kitchen. The food he makes is the most delicious I had during my time in Colombia. The portions are huge, so come hungry!

So much food!

My partner and I over ordered, wanting to take some food away for dinner later that evening. The chef told us that even with that, it would still be too much food!

We ate the falafel and vegetable wrap which were both huge. So delicious and very fresh. We ending up taking some the salad from the falafel so go with our croquettes and fritas that evening. They were also really tasty, including the 3 hours sauces.

Staff were super friendly and the chef is quite a character. Definitely worth the hype.

6⭐ — this is the restaurant I'll remember from this trip

If you're in Guatapé, stop looking for options and just go here. This was the perfect lunch. Tried to get two empanadas and one order of the frituras (for two people), and was told that that was probably too much food. Normally that'd sound like a challenge to me, but for some reason (partially because my ability to talk back in spanish is under-refined) I trusted the cook. He really wasn't lying—half an hour later we were looking at two football-sized empanadas stuffed to the brim with vegetables (for around 17k COP apiece, or approx $4 USD). Took us 20 minutes to eat them, and we left incredibly satisfied.

The hot salsa that came with the meal was also fantastic, which was nice because most of the other stuff we've encountered in this country isn't actually spicy. Exceedingly friendly service to boot. Located on a cute little street right next to the main downtown area, this seems like the obvious place to go if you're in town. I only wish we'd've been able to go back to try more of the menu

Pros: gigantic portions, delicious food, friendliest service

Cons: interior was cramped/hot (but we just ate outside)

Amazing option in town

The menu is small but the options are great. Both the falafel wrap and the empanada were really good. The portions are very generous and everything was fresh and made to order. I was actually impressed how much I enjoyed it and would definitely go back to try more. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful.

Pros: All vegan, Fresh ingredients , Large portions

Cons: Takes time to cook and prepare, Limited seating options

Didn’t like

Slowest service ever. Another 1 hour wait. For what? Ordered an empanada. It was just vegetables wrapped in a tortilla. Disappointed.

Lots of veggies

We went to Namaste multiple times and loved it every time. The staff is very friendly and has a positive vibe. The portions are big, everything is freshly made with great taste. Would recommend the croquettes, chocolate mouse, fresh juices and smoothies the most but everything was good.

The vegetable wrap, empanadas and bowl de ensalada were a bit similar to our taste. We went there two times to find out they were closed. The opening hours they communicate are not always accurate.

TIP: in Guatape there is an other spot called ‘Namaste Om’ (with view on the water) this is NOT it! We were mistaken by this at first, because we thought they had moved or something. The quality of the food etc doesn’t compare to what they offer at the ‘real’ Namaste 😅

Pros: Big portions, Freshly made, Positive vibes

Cons: Opening hours not very accurate

Great food, generous portions

4.5 stars if HappyCow would let me.

This is a great option if you’re in Guatapé. The menu is definitely pretty limited, but all of the food was fresh, and the salad and roasted veggies portion that comes with the falafel is definitely generous. I recommend the standard falafel over the falafel burger, as that was a bit too hard to eat and the patty wasn’t as good as the crispy falafels

lugar alegre, comida rica

El lugar es encantador y los camareros muy alegres y atentos. Nos gustó mucho el ambiente y las vistas al pueblito. Yo comí la hamburguesa, estuvo rica. Mi novio pidió el pita de falafel con ensalada y también le parecio bueno. Solo que el té estaba super amargo y las papas podrían ser mas crujientes.

Pros: 100% vegano, ambiente y decoración encantadores, servicio excelente

Cons: té amargo, papitas podrían ser más crujientes
